It's still easy. At the carbon copy cloner web site it shows you how to do it via command line:<br>http://www.bombich.com/mactips/image.html<br><br>It also shows an alternative method if you can download and install the latest version of psync, and a couple of perl libraries. I went through the trouble of doing that and now I can backup by going to the terminal and typing:<br> sudo /usr/local/bin/psync -d / /Volumes/BackupDrive<br><br><br>

Yeah, but the link I provided is a GUI for the psync commands, AND it allows you to visually schedule the backups, rather than having to invoke them every time you want to make a backup.<br><br><br><br>CreativeGuy: For your "fix" of design software tips, tricks & commentary.

A backup solution that requires you to type codes into the terminal is hardly a solution, dontcha think? I mean, if you have to actually do something, you might as well just drag the folders to a backup drive manually.<br><br><br><br>CreativeGuy: For your "fix" of design software tips, tricks & commentary.

And just how the heck am I supposed to back up 120 GIGS to .Mac's tiny little allotment of space? Not to mention that it's slow to copy compared to backing up to an external HD.<br><br>I used .Mac to backup my bookmarks, cookies, and a few other doo-dads, but nothing important.<br><br><br><br>CreativeGuy: For your "fix" of design software tips, tricks & commentary.
